History

The Park Extension Historical Society (SHPEHS) was formed in 2009 as a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting – and more importantly – preserving the memories of this multicultural community of 30,000 plus residents (West and North of CPR train tracks, East of Mont-Royal boro, South of Highway 40), annexed to the city of Montreal in 1910 and since 2002 forming the west end of the Villeray-St Michel-Park Extension borough.

In 2010 our principal activity was initiating the observance of our Annexation (see 100th Anniversary). An on-going activity is keeping an archives and collecting books about Montreal and our different cultures. We also joined the Fédération des sociétés d’histoire du Québec and subscribed to "Quebec Heritage News".
